The surfaces of nanoscale gold particles and components are oxide-free under normal ambient conditions. This unusual attribute permits the exploration of microstructures and functionalities that would not be feasible for less noble metals. Here we consider the electrochemical properties of mesoporous gold sponges, pre…
Abstract Biodegradable starch‐polyester polymer composites are useful in many applications ranging from numerous packaging end‐uses to tissue engineering. However the amount of starch that can form composites with polyesters without significant property deterioration is typically less than 25% because of thermodynamic…
All‐oxide continuous fiber‐reinforced ceramic matrix composites are enabling materials for high‐temperature structural applications in oxidizing environments. However, their industrial use requires further improvements in material performance as well as a significant reduction of the processing costs. This article giv…
Abstract To elucidate the role of continuous‐phase fat crystals on emulsion destabilization, water‐in‐canola oil emulsions prepared with 0–2% (w/w) added solid fat (hydrogenated canola stearine or hydrogenated cottonseed stearine) were examined using pulsed NMR droplet‐size analysis, sedimentation, and microscopy. Dro…
Heat conduction is an old yet important problem. Since Fourier introduced the law bearing his name almost 200 years ago, a first-principle derivation of this simple law from statistical mechanics is still lacking. Worse still, the validity of this law in low dimensions, and the necessary and sufficient conditions for…
It has been demonstrated that, in those instances where electromigration-induced mass transport is dominated by interfacial diffusion, the adhesion at the interface where mass transport is primarily taking place is related to the electromigration flux. Furthermore, it is shown that the cohesive energy of the interface…
"Inverse sodium hydride" (AdzH(+)Na-) is an alkalide compound synthesized in recent experiments containing the unusual charge distribution H+ and Na- (inverse charge state). The new class of compounds interests scientists to investigate their especial structures and properties. In this paper, the structures of three a…
CdSe quantum dots (QDs) are semiconducting nanoparticles that fluoresce when stimulated by visible light. This property has been exploited in their use as tracer particles in biomedical applications. In this study, confocal microscopy has been used to determine the distribution of QDs within polystyrene microgel parti…
A Gram-negative, motile, rod-shaped bacterium, designated strain P1(T), was isolated from activated sludge of a municipal wastewater treatment plant. Phylogenetic analysis of its 16S rRNA gene sequence placed the novel isolate among representatives of the family Comamonadaceae. The closest relatives in reconstructed p…
Abstract The use of di‐2‐pyridyl ketone [(2‐py) 2 CO]/dicyanamide “blend” in cobalt( II ), manganese( II ) and nickel acetatechemistry has yielded neutral cubane clusters. The preparation of [Mn 4 (O 2 CMe) 2 {N(CN) 2 } 2 {(2‐py) 2 C(OH)O} 4 ] · 2(2‐py) 2 ‐CO · 4H 2 O ( 1 ) and [M 4 (O 2 CMe) 2 {N(CN) 2 } 2 {(2‐py) 2…
Integration of new low-κ interlayer dielectrics (ILD) with current damascene schemes is a continuing issue in the microelectronics industry. During integration of the ILD, processing steps such as plasma etching, resist strip, and chemical-mechanical planarization are known to chemically alter a layer of the dielectri…
Purified deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) derived from salmon and scallop sperm has demonstrated excellent passive and active optical properties. Characterization of the optical and electromagnetic properties of DNA suggests suitability for photonic applications. One of interesting features of DNA we discovered was an inte…
Abstract For the preparation of conducting polyaniline (PANI)/nylon composites with high electrical conductivity as well as superior mechanical properties such as flexibility and lightness, PANI/nylon‐6 composite nanofiber webs were prepared via the electrospinning process with a nylon‐6/formic acid polymer solution,…
The preparation and circular dichroic (CD) studies of self-complimentary 8-mer DNA sequences with a porphyrin at the 3' end are presented. Electronic interaction between the two porphyrins (the interchromophoric distance is in the range of 28-40 A), attached to both ends of the double-stranded helix, gives rise to a l…

Studies on nanoscale materials have received great interest in both fundamental and applied aspects in recent years. In this letter, we report the synthesis of CoOOH nanorods and their possible applications as coating materials on nickel hydroxide for high-temperature nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) cells. The morphology…
Dual emission is observed from a family of simple acetylene-linked dinuclear RuII complexes, where two MLCT excited states coexist at room temperature and in fluid solution. This unique behavior is attributed to a specific substitution pattern on the bridging ligand and provides the opportunity to investigate the stru…
Abstract The complex structure of flax fibres involves many chemical biomolecules located in an amorphous matrix in which cellulose micrifibrils are embbeded. The drying of flax fibres influences significantly their tensile strength. This result can be explained by the creation of damages within the fibre and by the m…
PURPOSE: To establish a novel formulation tumor-targeted drug carrier of lipophilic antitumor antibiotics, aclacinomycin A (ACM), folate-linked microemulsions were prepared and investigated both in vitro and in vivo. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Three kinds of folate-linked microemulsions with different polyethylene glycol (P…
▪ Abstract The preparation of skeletal catalysts is considered, with particular reference to the preparation of skeletal nickel and skeletal copper. Skeletal catalysts have physical properties that are highly desired for some industrial processes, and the means of controlling these properties to optimize performance i…
